UOR new equipment

[Spencer100]

In the CP140 replacement thread there is an ongoing bet about what is will be replaced and amount.

Stealing that thread idea. There is a piece stating (can't be posted) that the Gov will be using UOR's to get both a Short range air defence system and what they are calling PAXM or Portable Anti Material Missile.

What your bets before the announcement?

AT-4 and NASAMS is my guess. 300 AT-4 and 3 NASAMS systems

What do you got?

EXTRA points for the replacement tanks and Artillery

Bet is that they will go out to a short list potential suppliers for P&A, and proceed based on that info.

The article had the sound of it they were further along than that. But whos know.

It also refers to a counter-UAS system.

Hopefully these are fast, off the shelf purchases.

Ideally that morph into real programs not some halfassed attempt at looking good.

Canada to fast-track procurement of defense equipment for Latvia deployment

Canada will be fast-tracking the procurement of defense equipment for the NATO mission it leads in Latvia, which borders Russia and Belarus, Canadian Defence Minister Anita Anand said on Thursday.

Is it really a "fast" track if the announcement is made a year after the Russian invasion?

Would you accept Canadian Armed Forces version of fast...

Government of Canada springs into inaction.

Government of Canada springs into inaction.

The slinky was invented as a result of a botched attempt to build a spring.

So that checks out- after repeated proddings, basically fall down the stairs, initially in an orderly fashion, but then flop and roll to a sad and disappointing stop.

When we can guy equipment for donation to Ukraine faster than we can for our own army, we need to stop and look at our selves as part of the problem.

I don't think the donation includes life cycle support, etc which is a big part of procurement.

A big part, but shouldn’t be a significant obstacle.

Seems as tho Life Cycle in an active war equals 'bout 12 mins.

Maybe we are over thinking that part?

Stop supporting small stuff for thirty years and instead replace it every five years.

You know I really sorta feel bad about the shit sandwich Trudeau has saddled this minister with.

Not practical for some gear, but smaller ticket items for sure. Or even a slower roll out constant replacement setup to avoid feast or famine (or more apt: hungry or totally starving).
